Top Red Perennials Available at TN Nursery
Cardinal Flower
This native beauty is known for its deep red spikes that attract hummingbirds. Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis) thrives in moist soils and performs well in rain gardens or stream banks. It’s ideal for naturalistic settings or as a statement plant in a pollinator garden.
Spigelia Indian Pink
Spigelia offers tubular, crimson flowers with a star-shaped yellow interior. This shade-tolerant perennial is perfect for woodland gardens and adds a dramatic pop of red without needing full sun.
Red Trillium
Red Trillium (Trillium erectum), also known as wake-robin, produces a deep burgundy flower and naturalizes beautifully in woodland settings. It blooms in early spring and is treasured for its bold form and color contrast in shady areas.
Bee Balm (Monarda)
Monarda features showy red blooms with a wild, firework-like form. Known for its ability to lure bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, it also offers a spicy fragrance and thrives in sunny, well-drained soil.
Hibiscus Moscheutos (Swamp Rose Mallow)
With its large, striking red blooms, this perennial hibiscus thrives in moist soil and full sun. It's ideal for a wetland edge or bold summer border and attracts hummingbirds from midsummer through early fall.
Why Choose Red Perennials?
Red perennials symbolize passion and energy. They contrast beautifully with green foliage and pair well with purple, yellow, and white flowers in the garden. Many red-flowered perennials also play a vital role in supporting pollinators like hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies.
Where to Use Red Perennials in the Landscape
- Pollinator Gardens: Cardinal Flower and Bee Balm are pollinator magnets.
- Woodland Edges: Red Trillium and Spigelia thrive in dappled shade.
- Rain Gardens: Hibiscus Moscheutos flourishes in moist, low-lying areas.
- Foundation Plantings: Use red blooms to create focal points and contrast with green shrubs.
Design Tips for Red Perennials
Red flowers command attention—so use them as bold accents or to lead the eye through the landscape. Group in odd numbers for a natural look and pair with silver foliage or ornamental grasses for texture. Red flowers also pair well with white flowering perennials to create dynamic contrast.
